Six Pack - Photography Contest [20 entries]

Stout Six Picture

Winning entry, with a score of:
66%
Contest goal:

We seem to naturally package things in sixes - beer, eggs, muscle car carburetors, or for some of us - our abs.
But, this has nothing to do with muscles... sorry guys and gals with flat bellies. This is about something which is packaged in 6... like 6 eggs, 6 cigars, etc. The rules are that the subjects of the photo should be 6 in number, should be packed, and should be countable so that we will be sure that it is a '6 pack.'


Status: finished. Check out the winners below!
Suggested by: iquraishi

RayTedwell: The fact that they have to be packed is very restrictive and cuts out a lot of possibilities IMO ( 5 years and 3501 days ago )
iquraishi: but makes it interesting RayTedwell... lets see what people start packing to take pics.. ( 5 years and 3501 days ago )
kyricom: PACKAGED in sixes... not just that there's 6 of something ( 5 years and 3500 days ago )
iquraishi: if the object don't come in a package of 6, YOU pack them.. put them in a box, cover, polythene etc.. ( 5 years and 3500 days ago )
iquraishi: or let it be a natural pack, like one of the entries.. ( 5 years and 3500 days ago )
dinomario10: Yes, that flower thing is so original and beautifully captured ! ( 5 years and 3499 days ago )
kyricom: The flowers etc are pretty, but GROWING in six is not PACKAGED in six ( 5 years and 3499 days ago )
iquraishi: hhmmm u got a point there kyricom.. ( 5 years and 3499 days ago )
locksmagic: what about 6 similar things in 6 different packages? for example 6 marbles packed in 6 glass jars ( 5 years and 3497 days ago )
UncleJimmy: I believe that would be deemed off topic as the idea is package OF 6...not 6 packages ( 5 years and 3497 days ago )
cocor: Mods, you have to make up your minds on the rules of this contest - either you take out ALL entries which are not strictly packed by 6 or you put my two shots back in the contest. Thank you. ( 5 years and 3496 days ago )
cocor: One further comment to the rules of this contest which can be interpreted in (too) many ways. iquirashi, the author who proposed this contest, he himself explains in the comments above that " if the object don't come in a package of 6, YOU pack them.. put them in a box, cover, polythene, etc". In this light, many of the eliminated shots were NOT off topic. And on the contrary, if the package should have originally been of 6, then shots of objects which originally contained more than 6 elements are not on topic either. Than, very very few shots are on topic (batteries, eggs, bottles, etc). OK. I must say I'm particularly angry because I was very fond of my shot you cancelled. Yet I will make an effort and make a skinny smile ( 5 years and 3496 days ago )
jawshoewhah: The last time I checked, matches and cigarettes were packed in sets of 20, not 6 ( 5 years and 3496 days ago )
iquraishi: thank u cocor for highlighting my comment and I'm sorry about ur entry. even in the contest description its mentioned that the objects should be packed, I didn't mention that it should be a package from the manufacturers.. ( 5 years and 3496 days ago )

Howdie stranger!
